 Raisins have a favorable nutritional profile, containing high levels of dietary fiber, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals, as well as fructose. Evidence suggests that consuming moderate amounts of fructose can improve glycemic control and reduce the glycemic load of a meal. Additionally, raisins have been shown to have a low glycemic index, GI, low glycemic load, GL, and low insulin index, too, making them a healthier option than many other snack options. These findings suggest that raisins could be beneficial for people with diabetes or insulin resistance, as they provide a healthy source of energy while reducing the risk of spikes in blood sugar levels.
